I'm interested in working in a developing country. Where do I apply? What would my legal status be in a foreign country?

Deployment of development aid workers is arranged through one of PSO's member organisations. Ask them about opportunities for working with organisations in developing countries. The procedure is as follows. An organisation in a developing country applies to one of the PSO member organisations for support, e.g. input of a development worker. Our member organisation then draws up a project proposal, together with the foreign partner. This proposal is then submitted to PSO, and we check that it meets all the criteria. Knowledge transfer and strengthening the local organisation are particularly important aspects. If the proposal is approved then PSO funds the project. If PSO approves the input of a development worker then PSO ensures that you have a good legal status , i.e. comparable to that in the Netherlands. These aspects include insurances, social security, costs of preparing for the deployment and a monthly supplement to your salary. Our member organisations recruit and select development staff.
